NES JRPG Nostalgia - 7.5/10
NES nostalgia or JRPG fans: buy it. Everyone else: YMMV, but worth checking out on sale. Full Review: https://www.gog.com/forum/8bit_adventures/review_nes_jrpg_nostalgia_7510 -- [Story] If this game was released back in the 1980s, this would be the best JRPG in that era. No convoluted story, decent amount of character development and progression. Wasn't too sure about your NPC ally and the setting, though. [Gameplay] Fully turn-based JRPG like FF1-3 with a DQ1 battle UI. You control three members: warrior, thief, and mage. Elemental mechanics plays a big part in damage based on colours for attacks and the target's type. Red > Green > Blue like in Pokemon. Status effects stay useful from start to end. Everything feels well-balanced. What I didn't like was how some islands look like you can land on them when you first get the airship. But they can't be accessed until later in the game where you get access to the second airship. Wasted a lot of time there. [Graphics] This one is hard to judge. The 8-bit sprites and environments look beautiful. However, some assets aren't fully 8-bit so the environments feel inconsistent and distracting. Some monster sprites also lack polish like the the swamp tree and your NPC ally. Pretty hit-or-miss. For everyone else, it's easy to ignore. [Audio] Indifferent. Nothing memorable, but nothing too bad. [PC Requirements] Anything can run this game. [Bugs] Issues with fullscreen, though can be circumvented by [Alt] + [Enter] to force fullscreen. [F1] also makes your cursor disappear. No bugs with the actual game itself except maybe a couple typos. [Game Time] Compared to NES JRPGs, this is short. For an average player, I'd say ~9 hours for main story. And ~12 hours to complete everything. I took 15 hours leaving no stone unturned. [Novelty] Great take on 8-bit JRPGs. This is my baseline for all NES-style JRPGs in the future. [Price] NES nostalgia or JRPG fans: buy it. Everyone else: YMMV, but worth checking out on sale.
